Dobrovăț Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Dobrovăț-Ruși, Romania
The monastery complex features stone walls, a central church structure, and religious frescoes depicting biblical scenes and saints throughout the interior spaces.
Stephen the Great initiated the construction of this monastery in 1503, and his son Bogdan III completed the establishment in 1504 as the final religious foundation.
The internal paintings, created between 1527 and 1530 under Petru Rareș, represent the artistic techniques and religious symbolism of Moldavian Orthodox tradition.
Located 25 kilometers southeast of Iași, the monastery maintains regular visiting hours and continues to function as an active Orthodox religious center.
The monastery's architectural elements combine Moldavian building techniques with stone construction methods, reflecting the regional ecclesiastical design of the early 1500s.
